Akademiliv congratulates Anna Grimby Ekman on the professorship! Her research group focuses on long-term pain in different patient and population groups. They study treatment, and also the variation in treatment results in different individuals, and also evaluate existing instruments in pain research. The research is largely based on registries and cohort studies, but is also clinical and experimental. Several current projects increase knowledge of the connections between pain conditions and anxiety, depression and stress through evaluation of biomarkers and studies on how different physiological systems interact in the body. Anna Grimby Ekman is the subject representative for health science statistics and teaches in the postgraduate program. She is deputy director of studies for the postgraduate program at the Institute of Medicine.
